ARTIST’S STATEMENT

 

- Inventing a world of my own -

 

May I refuse what I see?
Is this who I am in the mirror what I see?

The mysteries and dreams are fearful things
Along with the nightmares and regrets
I pass by without compromising

Often hurry in thinking, then tremble into the words
I forget my reality that good often comes out of misery as a teacher

Until a mirror stop seeing me
I am going to hold on to life with a firm grip
Even though coming and going of passions in exhaustion

I change nothing

PROFILE

 
     The abstract paintings and poetry of Sunna document without pathos and compromise, her love for life and the human condition. Her paintings, especially, have an epic quality and can be experienced as an iridescent luster in a black pearl. Rather than uttering a word, Sunna brings an intimate scene of her life through a gesture, with a maximum of expression in a minimal pictorial space. Her work allows a more intuitive glimpse into our own emotions. In a flat pictorial space, we witness a balancing act of her tensions of intense emotions, which are suppressed in tenderness with solitude. Aside from the complexity of her spirit, there is sense of great joy and serene detachment. Sunna’s work is the unashamed expression of the sublime elegies in Zen.
